[GMCnet] Olds or Buick 455

[Eric Roell]

Is the 1976 455 a Buick or Olds engine? 
The resources in Ontario, and Canada, are far less than what is available in USA, and virtually no one has a GMC TZE listed in their database.  I am trying to source Dist Cap, Rotor and wires for my 76' Glenbrook and supposedly there is a difference in the parts for a Olds and Buick 455.

Order parts from Gateway or Cinnabar. Both are knowledgeable and provide excellent service....

Eric,
The GMC TZE is NOT going to appear on any parts store computers. If you
have a 455 then I always use the 75 toronado as a base search. For those
of you that have a 403 I use the 77 toronado.

Your local auto parts store should be able to supply what you need. For
speciality items then you can check with the GMC suppliers and some have
low cost shipping to Canada.

IF you were a member of GMCMI and had the parts catalog in your hot hands
then you would be way far ahead. Just suggesting.

gmcmi.com
Good organization and has registered world wide.

Might check if you have a local as they can be a real help and you're
really not alone!! Don't know your location so I cannot point you in the
right direction for a local club.

I ask Toro parts and the kid asks "Who makes that"?

I asked at my local Car Quest, they have a listing for the GMC Transmode
but not the MH. In central Va.

[Jim Kanomata]

Transmode is a motorhome and other than drive train they work.

Thank you to all for the responses and support.I am a GMCMI member and have the USB from Kim Weeks and also Thomas Lins.  I am still fresh to working on my coach and finding the various specifications throughout all the documentation is all unfamiliar with me.I will get there as I work on the coach and start putting some miles on it.Cheers!

I have had my GMC for 38 years now and over the years I collected manuals and other information. I used to send out a dvd with this information to new members and others who requested it at no charge.
I sent one to Tom Lins free but he then copied it and charged GMcers for a copy. This disturbed me so I quit giving it away. I put all my information on the GMCMI site and GMCMI asked me if they could distribute it on a Thumb drive and I gave them permission.
I continue to collect new information and I give that to GMCMI but not to Tom Lins.
I have never charged anyone for the files.

Thanks Emery,Had I known that a year ago when I purchased my GMC, I would have paid Tom Lins for virtually the same, or less information.
